Peter Brasseler KM172-24-45S Smooth Kirschner Wire (K-Wire) | 0.045 Inch (1.1 mm) Outer Diameter | 4.0 Inch (101.6 mm) Length | Double Trocar 3-Sided Point | 316L Stainless Steel | New

Expiration: 2030-09-24

The Peter Brasseler KM172-24-45S Smooth Kirschner Wire (K-Wire) is a precision-ground, fine-gauge structural alignment pin and mechanical guidance rod engineered for orthopaedic bone surrogate fixation, mechanical axial guidance, material penetrometry testing, and structural joint modeling. Featuring a 0.045 inch (1.1 mm) nominal outer diameter and a 4.0 inch (101.6 mm) overall length, this component is centerless-ground from 316L implant-grade stainless steel (ASTM F138) to provide high linear resilience, precise dimensional stability, and total resistance to corrosion. The dual-ended Double Trocar configuration features 3-sided ground cutting points at both extremities, allowing reversible insertion, bi-directional collet chucking, and rapid penetration into synthetic media or custom mechanical fixtures. It serves as an ideal component for micro-flexure evaluations, drill guidance calibration, orthopaedic technique demonstrations, and laboratory research setups.
